Letter of the day

Across Portsmouth almost 2,250 people are living with dementia and 850,000 are affected UK-wide.

Dementia devastates lives.

Every pound raised through Portsmouth Memory Walk will help Alzheimer’s Society provide vital information and support, improve care, fund research and create lasting change for people affected by the condition.

Last year more than 2,600 people took part in Portsmouth Memory Walk.
